Dialysis blues

My name is Jennifer. I have been a dialysis patient for oover three years now. It never seems to get any easier. I don't really expect it to.
I have had 6 access', so far. I currently have a graft in my right arm.
It has caused me a little trouble since I got it two years ago. I had to have it almost completely redone, after only one year. It causes me some problems now; itching, pain, swelling.
I just wanted to know if anyone else can share secrets they have on how to deal with living with dialysis? Is there a Veteran or a rookie who can share their stories with me? Maybe listen to a few of mine?
